Along with Vale, I've got one of the first pairs of short rear shocks on my van. They are a quality product, and worth every penny IMO.
I carry no weight in my van but could still bottom out the original shocks when the van was lowered.

You bought them from Vale?
I need these as front is spot on and perfect but rear needs bit stiffer.

No I'm trying something different. Could be a massive fail but worth a shot...

I'm thinking a lot of people with lowered vans will be interested in your find.
I was gonna pop over to my local factors in the coming weeks and ask to look at there catalogues of pattern shocks and see if they have dimension printed in do I could work out what will and won't fit.
Astra G rear shocks look similar and they are a fair bit shorter.
Keep us informed Drizz.....
